I know this guy,,, from a very established and prominent local family. As well as his victims, I really feel sorry for his wife and children and grand children.
Furtz a lot of crimes are committed by very rich people as well as being very prominant and a lot of times done a great deal more than by poor people. Something has to be very mentally wrong with such people and they have to be institutionalized. The man who you know who is prominant made an embarrassment to his family but screwed up the lives of his victims for the rest of their lives.
